Essex lanes

What you on about? Its nothing to do with the Hardware, is the software thats ****. Hardly Apples fault MM dont make use of the equipment fully.
All my current Apple products iPad, Macbook Pro, Apple TV, iPod, iPhone) have been fantastic, and with exception of my Phone (which was replaced no questions asked by Apple when the battery failed) have been stupidly reliable. No crashes, no faults, nothing. Id never have anything else now!

If you have an iPad already, why not load the free mm, it gives you a small area to activate for free. I've activated the area of Braintree with the lanes that I know already. I've highlighted the lanes and will test the app when next down Braintree (unfortunately that will not be this evening )

You will need to create a digital map account before you are allocated the sample map, but it does not require any cc details to do this.

Just find the area on the 1:250000 map, zoom in and then click activate.

Have fun this evening

Lol yeah I went a bit 'bull in a china shop' and clicked activate without really realising what's what and activated random places lol

Don't press activate until you are sure this is the area you want unlocked.
I can see how drizz activated the area as I have also activated the area around my house :doh:

I've just activated the area around me which has no lanes :doh: I don't think it even asked

anyone done it and is it worth doing as the bigger tyres seem to have done for the acceleration ? wasn't a rocket before hand but . . .

just done a service which definately helped but having to stir the lever alot more down the road i go to work on.

only have two concerns with it - mpg and completely buggering up the engine or the expensive bits (i.e. turbo)

It does on the pad. But that still didn't stop me activating my local area
Take up walking :lol: you must have activated a few footpaths to test the app

looking good.
I'm still on standard size wheels, but everyone else seems to have ok acceleration on bigger boots. If not I've read a few posts about the fender t/box which is better suited (geared) to bigger wheels.

I can't do that. You know I can't do walking.

Can help quite a lot just be careful with the max fueling screw so that you dont run too higher egt's apart from that not much else to worry about, also cleaning out the intercooler can help a lot especially if its gunked up!

Will not really help unless your planning on running 35" tires or bigger otherwise it will be revving quite high at motorway speeds

Well we had a great nights laning yesterday, there was a few road miles involved and I think a decision has to be made as to if we do that route next Thursday.

I felt there was a couple of very good worthwhile lanes in that lot, in with some very tame ones.

I did a total of over 100 miles on the trip and I worked it out at 7 hours in all.

Also some of the very narrow roads won't be traveled so fast in daylight on a work day, there will be other traffic to consider.

The only others that can give an opinion are those that went last night.

Over to you Chris, Mikey and Drizz.

Obviously we can miss out the three no access ones which will save time and mileage and we wanna stop at that landy friendly pub. I can find more that way if need be I don't mind

The ideal day would be a 9.30 start so those traveling can have a reasonable set of from home time, and a 4 O Clock finish. I would allow an hour for lunch so about 5 1/2 hours laning. Last night was about 7 hours and we cracked on really, apart from our little episode.

Perhaps we could drop a coupe of the tame ones to help.

Also I liked the pub we stopped at, seemed friendly to offroaders according to Chris.

Well i didnt really note the crap ones just the no access ones

truck runs cold either cos "cooler radiator" as previous owner said or wonky temp gauge. intercooler was okay when i got it february but prob worth a look.

guess it flushes like a radiator or use some chemicals? had an audi that used to regulary fill intercooler with oil ..... P.O.S.


think this is todays project then...

then get aerial cable for CB as i'd have to mount it on transmission tunnel with cable i've got from my defender...
